Also from B2. If you end the date like I do. Then a day or two later on the phone you say, "I just don't think we made a connection"

Posted by Redmond? (aka Redmond) May 28 '09, 16:30

then you don't risk having a Wig Out in person. It's not common but when it happens it's crazy shit.

"I don't understand, why don't you like me?" Ugh, in public that is brutal. On the phone it's a little more private. You can explain it in a controlled setting.

a wig out, really? never saw that. -- nm - loosilu May 28, 16:36 17
- You never saw it because you don't date women. Guys are more likely to say, F off and leave. Chicks do door slams, thrown things, cry. Omg crying? - Redmond? May 28, 16:40 16
  - omG a door slam! noooo! - kare May 28, 17:03 3
    - it's not good on the hinges. he's just looking out for the innocent pieces of metal - dogbert183 May 28, 17:10
    - I admit it. I don't like Wig Outs. Guilty -- nm - Redmond? May 28, 17:06
    - Yep. -- nm - the liioulu with umbrella May 28, 17:04
  - And you guys can't take it. Weak. -- nm - the liioulu with umbrella May 28, 16:40 11
    - I sense someone's received a few unpleasant phone calls in her time. ;) -- nm - Dr.McVermin May 28, 16:45 1
      - No. Not at all. - the liioulu with umbrella May 28, 16:48
    - It's not that we can't take it, we'd just rather not. - Stephen May 28, 16:43 6
      - Plus, we want to spare THEM the public embarassment ... really, it's all about being kind to them. -- nm - Beryllium May 28, 17:05 4
        
        No I don't. If she wants to cry in public, I'm ordering popcorn for the show. -- nm - TFox May 28, 17:06 2
        
        Znuffri is coming out this weekend. If he cries I will watch and eat popcorn. -- nm - Redmond? May 28, 17:09 1
        
        znufrii doesn't believe in the binary duality of emotional construct. - TFox May 28, 17:11
        
        *snork* -- nm - the liioulu with umbrella May 28, 17:05
      - *ding* -- nm - Beaker May 28, 16:45
    - you've obviously never been hit in the face with a toaster -- nm - dogbert183 May 28, 16:43
    - It's less about being weak and more about the path of least resistance. Or just being lazy. -- nm - Redmond? May 28, 16:42
Still a cop out. If you're ona date and it isn't working you're just wasting her time and yours. - the liioulu with umbrella May 28, 16:33 29
- Public wig outs can be uncommon and still warrant taking time to avoid them. - Dr.Vermin May 28, 16:37 27
  - So you cop out 100% of the time to avoid that 2%? - the liioulu with umbrella May 28, 16:40 26
    - I don't get in a car with strangers 100% of the time - dogbert183 May 28, 16:44 1
      - If you're on a date you aren't strangers. - the liioulu with umbrella May 28, 16:50
    - I also buckle my seatbelt 100% in case of the (far smaller than) 2% chance I'll need it. - Cougar poolowner May 28, 16:42 20
      - That last bit I really don't believe. - the liioulu with umbrella May 28, 16:47 18
        
        If they weren't going well, why didn't *you* end it? Who's the coward? -- nm - Dr.McVermin May 28, 16:55 3
        
        Yep, she walked right into that. Game, set, match. -- nm - Redmond? May 28, 16:56 2
        
        I have walked right out of dates. - the liioulu with umbrella May 28, 17:03 1
        
        ha! so there, boys! - kare May 28, 17:15
        
        Heh. Dude is the coward for not taking the out you provided instead of just saying it straight up? - TFox May 28, 16:53
        
        Jack Dawson made a great point on B2. Women use the, "I don't feel well" all the time. All the time! It's a total cop out. - Redmond? May 28, 16:53 11
        
        long story as quick as possible. I was given the "I don't feel well" statement one time while with a girl. we were out having fun (so I thought) when - dogbert183 May 28, 17:09 1
        
        in the IM ...."I'm ready" sould say "I'm NOT ready" - dogbert183 May 28, 17:12
        
        toootal eyeroll. - kare May 28, 16:57 7
        
        I use that one sometimes. (spoils) - TFox May 28, 16:58
        
        I like the dog excuse. But my point is valid. It's used a lot. It's almost code for I am not into you, because it's used so much. - Redmond? May 28, 16:58 5
        
        We should use it more, I think. Reclaim it for the dudes. - TFox May 28, 16:59 4
        
        hee! -- nm - kare May 28, 17:00
        
        "owww, my ovaries!" -- nm - Bart May 28, 17:00
        
        The difference between not getting sex on a date, and not getting sex when you are married. I don't feel well is used on a date. I have a headache - Redmond? May 28, 17:00 1
        
        and sometimes *shocker* you *actually* don't feel well! -- nm - kare May 28, 17:01
        
        I am stealing the obvious joke, so you can't use it. Maybe it's because you make them sick Redmond. - Redmond? May 28, 16:54
        
        *snork* -- nm - Stephen May 28, 16:51
      - dammit. sfan -- nm - Dr.McVermin May 28, 16:43
    - YES! -- nm - Redmond? May 28, 16:41 2
      - To the IM right? ;) -- nm - the liioulu with umbrella May 28, 16:44 1
        
        Eh, I don't like hearing it. The last woman I dated said, "I don't feel any sparks". It sucked, but I got over it. - Redmond? May 28, 16:46
- It's a cop out. But I still do it. I don't disagree with you. -- nm - Redmond? May 28, 16:36
Phone??? Either they won't sleep with you, and then there's really no need to ever call them again. - Ryan Vermin May 28, 16:33
I can't imagine ever ending a date with a poor verbal review. What's the point? - TFox May 28, 16:32 12
- Believe this or not. I can be really annoying on purpose and get them to become not interested in me. I know shocker!!! - Redmond? May 28, 16:34 11
  - Sure, but if you're not going out again, who cares. - TFox May 28, 16:37 3
    - Well...if you don't mind being branded a loser. -- nm - the liioulu with umbrella May 28, 16:49 2
      - I don't mind being branded a loser by a woman who I told she smells like cat litter. - TFox May 28, 16:50 1
        
        No it's the doing it by email that brands you a loser. -- nm - the liioulu with umbrella May 28, 17:12
  - And dishonest. - the liioulu with umbrella May 28, 16:35 6
    - i actually love this. total win-win. she's probably not going to learn or gain much by his honesty (except perhaps be more gun shy the next time - kare May 28, 17:00
    - it's not dishonest for him to be really annoying. -- nm - loosilu May 28, 16:37 2
      - Ding! -- nm - Redmond? May 28, 16:42
      - True. -- nm - the liioulu with umbrella May 28, 16:38
    - I don't date her friends. In fact I just turned down the opportunity to date a friend. - Redmond? May 28, 16:36 1
      - you should have dated the friend. -- nm - kare May 28, 17:02
